review text: [The articles of this volume will not be indexed individually.] The book is in three parts. The first is a formal development of (classical) statistical inference, the second is a description of three methods (discrimination, screening and stochastic dependence). The final part discusses a variety of applications in several fields including genetics, latent variables, survival analysis and queueing, some of which are modelled using the techniques in part two. The objective is to show that formal approaches to inference in real life problems are very rarely used and to show that several different models of the same situation may be constructed. An appendix contains some algorithms.
